Knitted Gardens: Imaginative Designs, Practical and Decorative, All with a Garden Flavour by Jan Messent

From the Publisher

Delightfully quirky, this knitting guide opens up endless creative possibilities on a garden theme. Hundreds of projects large and small include traditional furnishing such as bedspreads, pillows, and wall hangings, and knitters are invited to explore and experiment with the patterns. What truly sets the book apart, however, are the instructions for three-dimensional tabletop gardens that astound with their detail and inventiveness: a Victorian kitchen garden, a friary garden, and an entire row of cottage gardens complete with wildlife, flowers, shrubs, and trees.

Knit Today

This was first published in 1991 and it is testament to the book's content that it is still in demand.

SlipKnot

The knitted bedspread with its rows of vegetables, formal parterre and herbaceous borders is a delightful example of patchwork knitting.
